ment requiring that before ths enforcement
of the clause (which deals with proclainling
of dangerous associations the consent of both
houses of Parliament be obtained This, he
said, was the most danger::s clause of the
bill and ought to be resisted to the utter
most. If there was a national danger de-
nlanding such exceptional authority, Par
lament might be trusted to confer tie
necessary powers.
Mr. Balfour, Chief Secretary for Ireland,
opposed the amendment, saying that it
would only lead TO a waste Of time in Par
Lament. Mr.. Fower'S amendment was re-
iected by a vote of 233 to Ill
Several more amendments having been
disposed of, the chairman put the question
whether the clause should stand as part of
the bill.
Sir Charles Russell arose and entreated
able character Of the clause. While he was
speaking the hour of 10 arrived. The Min
isteriai benches rapidly filed the members
pouring in from the lCbbies and the Parnell-
ties simultaneously arose and left the house,
the Chairman twice calling upon
them to resume their seats
Amid great confusion n division was
ordered, and the clause was adopted by a
vote of 332 TO 16S. The Parnellites re-
turned after the voting, but the division
having been declared, Immediately arose in
a body and Withdrew amid the ConseIva-
tive cheers and laughter The remaining
clauses were then put and carried without
comment, and the bill passed the committee
stage, the Conservatives again cheering.

o'DoNNELL AND THE TINES
Hugh ODonnen, ex-Vice President of the
Home Rule Confederation, writes letter to
the London Times from Cologne, to correct
what he calls that papers misStatement
respecting the alleged condition of Parnell-
ism with Irish crimes generally, and par
ticularly where it charges that Parnellites
were guilty of completely in the crimes
committed by Frank Byrne. Mr.. O'Don-
nell declares that Byrne did not owe
his position in the Land Land League to
any relationship he may have had with any
of the Parnellites, but that he inherited
that position from the Home Rule
Confederation, of which he was
member, and he was the special favorite of
DR.. Butt, then an Irish leader, and, in fact,
if all the members of the House Of Com
mons with whom he came in contact
have participation, the letter goes on, sin
the assassination conspiracy it was cowardly
treason to the honorable members Of the
constitutional organization whose conf
dence he msused and whose policy he Ell
dangered. | believe that his fail was only
another instance of the consequence Of join
ing secret society-that curse of modern
politics" The Times, commenting on the
letter, accuses Mr.. O'Donnell Of evading
the important point of its charges and says
'If Mr.. Parnen supplied Mr.. Byrne with
money to leave the country, the Significance
OF such action cannot be obscured by any
casuistic subtleties"
